Treasure Hunting Flowers

Somewhere between Venice and Joshua Tree I found a piece of myself I had forgotten existed. As a child I would run through the forest calling to birds, looking for raccoons and darting past imaginary unicorns.

My bestie and I were part of an exclusive club. We were self proclaimed, rainbow children and at age six believed we inhabited earth to save the environment by ending deforestation and halting "litterbugs". My eldest sister would paint rainbows on our faces and we would run into the fields with a zest for life and imaginations that could fill the pages of books for a lifetime. At some point my bestie moved away and my dreams of being an adventurer followed close behind.

I admit initially I wanted to witness the Super Bloom because it looked pretty on Instagram. My friends were going. I had time off work so the universe was pointing me in that direction. I had no idea that this synchronistic bit of luck would awaken a part of me that had been sleeping for decades...(two to be exact I am not a hundred lol).

Enter the wandress, Pip, and the talented duo behind Sirens and Scoundrels, Sarah and Christina. After driving around the Anza Borrego we started to notice the quiet descent of the sun. Magic hour was upon us and we had no idea where this sea of flowers we had seen all over social media was.

On a whim we jumped out of the car. That moment for me was when the true magic started. Rather than stepping out into a vast bed of flowers, we saw sporadic teenie ones in full bloom. When you looked, really looked they were everywhere. The cactus' were blooming and we hadn't even noticed from the car. There were the most delicate yellow, red and pink flowers growing all over the desert. It was magnificent, truly jawdropping. We ran around like kids on an Easter Hunt. We were careful not to trample any of our new found treasure, but we had to see everything!!!!! If we hadn't pulled over, if we hadn't looked we would have missed this perfect scene straight out of a children's book.

The biggest takeaway for me is that this seemingly simple event is a metaphor for life. You can search for how you think things should be and ignore the treasure sitting right in front of you. These flowers are able to bloom in the most tempermental landscape. The water is scarce but when it pours its dramatic. There are sandstorms and heatwaves and the nights will chill you to the bone. And yet, every blossom, each bloom appears every spring not seeking admiration but just because. Mother Nature paints the most perfect tapestry when it deems fit and although its easy to forget we were also created by Mother Nature. Diamonds are born from heavy rocks. We are born into circumstances and encumber obstacles that seem too heavy to bear and yet we survive. So the next time you are on a road trip, please stop and look at the treasure that is all around you. Wipe the jaded lenses from your eyes and look, truly look at the clouds the next time you see them. They are painted anew every day, and everyday you have the ability to write a new story. Be an adventurer, be wild, be free and witness everything around you as the gift that it is. Maybe I will see the main stage at Anza Borrego next year, maybe not. I saw what I needed to see.

A very special thanks goes out to my friends; Christina, Sarah, Pip and Mother Nature for this unforgettable adventure. Thank you for sharing this earth with me and reminding me to wander the path unseen from the road.

Meet Me At The Top

Megan and I went snorkeling and kayaking through sea caves in Ang Thong National Marine Park. There were so many different kinds of fish in the water, it felt as though it were a dream. After a beautiful swim through turquoise waters we ran to the top of the lookout. Once we picked our jaws up off the floor we paused for some pics and a little gratitude. If you haven't been, make the trek to the park. It's worth it. Make sure you hum the tune of "The Little Mermaid" for an extra fun soundtrack.
